Hi, My Mom Is 81, She Has Mild Parkinsons Disease.

Hi, my Mom is 81, she has mild Parkinsons disease. She is on leva dopa carbidopa, sinamet, warfarin, bisoprolol, prednisone. Approximately 2 years ago she spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital. She developed BOOP, obstructive pulmonary infection, they couldn't find a way to help until she was put on prednisone. She is slowly coming off the prednisone, 1mg per month, when she got to 3mg she began feeling ill, so she went back to 4mg. There was also arterial fibrillation. She had blood clots in her lungs about 6 years ago. We have gone to many, many specialists including, Cardiologists, Rhuematoligist, a Neurologist specializing in eyes, Pulmonary & Parkinsons. The common diagnosis is, that's it's the Parkinsons...... I find it hard to believe that there isn't something else causing all this weakness, dizziness, fatigue, tingling sensation especially in the legs. Could there be something neurological, related to balance or feeling unsteady, inner ear issues? Any input is very much appreciated.
